The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is an imposing vehicle, one made even more dramatic by a set of massive 24-inch wheels available right from the factory. Today, Cadillac Society is taking a closer look at those wheel options, including how to outfit each one on the luxury electric SUV.
As a reminder, the Escalade IQ is offered in four trim levels, including Luxury 1, Sport 1, Luxury 2, and Sport 2. In all, the are a total of four wheel options are available on the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ. The 24-inch seven-spoke machine face alloy wheels with mask and polish and High Gloss Black pockets and inserts (production code RDP) are standard on both Luxury trims, while the Sport trims get the 24-inch seven-spoke diamond cut face alloy wheels with High Gloss Black pockets and inserts and dark tintcoat (production code RDV) as standard.
For the Luxury trims, an upgrade is available in the form of the 24-inch Bright alloy wheel (production code SF3), which is included with and exclusive to the $4,395 Radiant Package (production code PDV). Finally, the 24-inch Deep Space alloy wheel with reverse rim (production code SF7) is available on the Sport trims as part of the optional Onyx Package (production code PDB) for $3,995. Both of these wheels are LPO-level, meaning they are ordered in conjunction with the vehicle but installed by a dealer rather than on the assembly line at the factory.
